Currently living in Nashville, Tennessee, I’m employed as a content manager. In other words, I write and edit for a living. But long before I became a writer, I intensely loved golf. I played collegiately near Atlanta for two years, with a handicap near scratch. Twelve years of frustrating play in tournaments led to an ugly case of burnout, and I didn’t touch a club for over six years. Here I am, 32, and back at it…for some ridiculously freakish reason.

I’m a Christian first, a husband second, a writer third, and a golfer fourth. I used to love golf, then I hated it. Now I love it again, though I’m not sure why. I’ve never had much to show for my love of this amazingly difficult game, other than a few mental bruises. Maybe I used to take it too seriously, but I’ve got a life now and golf has found its proper perspective.

But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to beat the crap out of this sport. It’s beat me up enough in the past. Time for a little revenge. My game is under repair. I will suck no more.

Hey Rob, I feel your pain. My golf game (if you call it that) is once a year. Most of the time I am helping the course staff by weeding the rough for them. I have been known to help keep the squirrel population on some courses in check. My slice keeps other golfers, small children, and animals on their toes.

I am enjoying your blog. We have taken very similar paths leaving golf, six year sabbaticals, and returning to the game. Where did you play collegiate golf? Is there a less public method to contact you?

Hey there, found your blog through WordPress and I really enjoy your takes on the game! Especially the Pet-Peeves! I have recently started a golf blog as well, and added you to my blogroll. http://goodwalkspoiled.wordpress.com hopefully if you enjoy it, you’ll do the same in return! Keep up the great writing.

I was wondering if you could include a link to our site on your blog. We have a golf lifestyle app called USAProTour that allows people to view golf courses and the highlights of the course. I am the web developer and noticed that we have a link to your site on our page. You can email me to chat about it at webmaster@usaprotourapp.com
